mp3 doesn't sound bad if you use high quality VBR, and if you use the
lame encoder '--alt-preset standard' is very good -- decent
compression and good sound quality. 128k MP3s are going to sound
about FM-radio quality.
If you're playing out on a big system, it would be good if you got
something better than builtin laptop audio -- cheap laptops sound
really crap on a big system.
There are other formats -- OGG, WMV, etc, but you're kind of limited
to what your DJ software can read. FLAC format
http://flac.sourceforge.net/ is lossless, but I don't know of any DJ
app that reads it.
